There is a "quote' button in each text frame. Just press the button and then edit the text to whatever statement you want to quote and present in your message.

Don't feel bad, I just learned how to do it myself.

Danbo : "Never made it there. I love to travel. If you show up in sunny California, give a holler and we'll toast Prog with some dark brew.  "

(incidently how do guys quote copy/paste in a box form ?? Can't seem to do it?)

Danbo,Thanks for the invite ,I also love to travel and have travelled to quite a few places .If I ever go to California ,I'll let you know and we can have that drink and listen to some prog !

I know I'm lucky "a prog store " near my home ! I wonder how many of those exist in the world ?

I bet many people from Montreal doesn't even know it exists !

If some of you are interested (you can order via their website)

here is the store's link :

http://www.freesonrock.com/

if you buy anything tell him Christian Labbée referd you .Who knows maybe I'll get an extra Cd or something.

As for FM I've always heard they have an awesome electric violin player but I listened to the video on their site and it sounded like 80s punksih rock not prog rock ?? but then again I only listened to that one video because I can't download MP3s at work they are blockedAngry I have to download all MP3s at home via 56K modem UGHHH !!!!

Diddy I just bought the 3 camel albums :snow,mirage,Moon I like them even though its not in the Genesis style I didn't know they weren't neo I hadn't check their "prog label".

U.K. , National Health, never heard of ? Caravan ... have listen to a few tracka a while back and don't really remember so not really memorable to me.

As stated before I will check out VDGG ;-)

and thanks for the suggestions they are always welcomed.

I don't know what the music of FM sounds like, but I downloaded two solo-songs from Nash The Slash and they were weird, but very boring electronic music.

That guy must be very ugly that he hides his face like that. It's looking pretty cool, actually

O.k.
Ever heard of U.K. ??? A realy great Band...(You can read about their album "Danger money" in this forum..."Featured CD")
Or maybe try some National Health or Caravan (both playing Canterbury)
But I think you should check out VdGG first if you want the bands sounding a bit like Genesis...
And of course you HAVE to try Camel, start with "Mirage" or "Music inspired by the snow goose" (it's also called "The Snow Goose")

Oh my Gaaawd!!! This must be heaven!! A Prog Store??? Jeez I think I move to Montreal, can't be much colder than Dublin at the moment!!

Anyways, if you're Canadian you should really check out the Toronto band FM. Am I the only one who knows them? They made a number of albums but the ones to look out for (i.e. which are pure, brilliant prog) are:

1. Black Noise (re-released in 93 on CD)
2. Surveillance (does anyone know if this is available on CD?)
3. City of Fear (available on CD?)
4. RetroActive (Live recording released in 94)

No. 1-3 were released sometime around 1980. If you're not sure go for the RetroActive album, it's a good cross-section of their best material & also contains a CD-ROM multimedia file which is really interesting too!

I'd LOVE to hear from other ppl who know about them, or even know MORE about them!!

Ok I'll check out Echolyn. Thanks

Never made it there. I love to travel. If you show up in sunny California, give a holler and we'll toast Prog with some dark brew.  I'd love to have the capital to open a shop like that. Who knows, it could happen. All the retail stores have closed up the mom and pops here.

What part of Canada? I'm from Detroit an used to go to Winsor on occasion, as well as Saint Kits (Catherines) and London. It's been twenty years, alas.

Prog store? Really. Even Tower records out here in Cali sells top 40 crap. If it weren't for Amazon and e-bay, I'd be a stooge.

Really, check out Echolyn, I'm floored by those guys.

Dando: I wish they would be Canadian Government free CD credits Confused

but alas no, they are a Prog CD store $ credits because it was paid in advance.

So I go in every couple of weeks to the Prog store and tell the owner what do you have that might interest me, then I just sit down listen to a whole bunch of stuff with the head phones and have a real good time.Thats why I asked you guys for help I have over 100 CDs to choose, from a very vast selection of prog ! so keep those suggestions coming. Big smile

I must confess I don't know VDGG, heck I just recently found out about Camel and I 'm not that young ! But I will check it out .

So far what I 've enjoyed the most in the Neo Prog genre are :

2 first IQ albums,

Il Trono dei Ricordi,

Grand Stand,

Tresspass

and I just recently discovered Cast which I think I will very much enjoy.

If anyone can suggest other groups along those lines I still have a credit of about 100 CDs to buy ...  Tongue         Thanks

Hey VDGG is incredible. If you wan tmore edge and darker themes, try Parallel or 90 Degrees. Newer band, great sounds.

You can download songs from VdGG from the website. I love those mp3's and I'm going to buy an album soon!  Great saxophone-player!

Welcome aboard!!!

Yer right, I wouldn't put TFK or Glass Hammer in the Genesis genre. Good bands though.

 
No, of course it's NOT P. Diddy ... It's a nickname all of my friends use and it refers to my surname "Dietrich" 
I can't help it, all people just say "Diddy" even if I didn't mentioned the nickname before
It's horrible, the first thing all people think about is P. Diddy  ...
 
If you want to have Bands sounding like Genesis try Van der Graaf (Generator), they are awesome, very melancholic and sometimes very aggressive AND the best thing: They use a Soxophone and no Guitar (but sometimes Robert Fripp appeares as a guest). And the voice is even better than Gabriel because Peter Hammill's voice is great and very variable (mellow and aggressive)!
Try "Pawn Hearts" or "H to He...who am the only one"

Vegates Diddy and welcome aboard. You'll like it here, its a great prog site !

I agree with you ,I did listen to 2 GlassHammer CDs, and it's definetiley is in the YES style. I did enjoy it, even if I prefer the Genesis style.I'll probably buy some of their albums.

Thanks but,I have the main Flower King albums already .

I can't say I liked Chandelier -Pure- that much because it sounded more like Synth Pop Rock that varies a little bit like prog.

Like I said before, I'll take any suggestions close to the Genesis style ie :lots of great keyboard solos and textures ,Gabriel like voices,flutes,hackette type guitars & acoustic guitars...
